The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Primas is a 2017 Canadian documentary film directed by Laura Bari. It is a coming-of-age portrait of two Argentine teenagers who, in the wake of odious crimes that interrupted their childhood, free themselves from the shadows of the past. First in Argentina, then during an initiatory trip to Canada, the two girls, RocĂ­o and Aldana, grow up, expressing through their bodies what their imagination reveals, their unique perspective and their unwavering resistance. Primas had its international premiere at International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam and was also selected at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival in Argentina and at the !f Istanbul Independent Film Festival, winning the international competition's Audience Award and the Love and Change Jury Award respectively. The film was released in Canada in the fall of 2018. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
